Description

零件供給器 Parts feeder

本發明關於一種零件供給器,其即使將極小工件落下投入也不會因衝擊而損傷工件,並且抑制排列輸送時的摩擦損傷。 The present invention relates to a component feeder which does not damage a workpiece by impact even when a very small workpiece is dropped, and suppresses friction damage during alignment conveyance.

目前,由於例如像電子部件這樣的零件(下面稱為工件)的尺寸變得非常小而難以操作,因此例如在外觀檢查步驟中,逐個全部檢查的效率顯著降低,或者在出貨步驟中,難以在使其排列後逐個包裝。 At present, since the size of a part such as an electronic component (hereinafter referred to as a workpiece) becomes very small and difficult to operate, for example, in the visual inspection step, the efficiency of all inspections is remarkably lowered, or it is difficult in the shipping step. Pack them one by one after they are arranged.

因此,為了排列(以及單個分離)輸送這類微小工件,可以使用如日本專利公開2003-128231號公報(專利文獻1)、日本專利公開2003-118828號公報(專利文獻2)等所示的稱為零件供給器的機構。 For the purpose of arranging (and singularly separating) such a small workpiece, it is possible to use a scale as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-128231 (Patent Document 1), Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-118828 (Patent Document 2), and the like. The mechanism for the parts feeder.

在專利文獻1、2中,作為基本結構,均具備:形成為倒圓錐形容器狀的旋轉自如的旋轉球、接近該旋轉球的內面並從該旋轉球的底部至上開口呈螺旋狀延伸設置且在其底部側端部(下端)設置有斗笠狀(陣笠狀)的工件投入接收板的螺旋導向件、將沿著該螺旋導向件向旋轉球上開口的外周緣部外運送的工件向目的運輸路徑引導的引導部。 In Patent Documents 1 and 2, as a basic structure, each of the rotating balls having a rotatable shape in the shape of an inverted conical container is provided, and is close to the inner surface of the rotating ball and extends spirally from the bottom to the upper opening of the rotating ball. Further, a bottom side end portion (lower end) is provided with a bucket-shaped (clustered) workpiece-input receiving plate spiral guide, and a workpiece that is transported outside the outer peripheral edge of the spiral ball opening along the spiral guide is aimed at The guide of the transport path guidance.

上述構成的專利文獻1、2的工件輸送方法,是從旋轉球的上開口的更上方朝向斗笠狀的工件投入接收板投入工件,並藉由工件投入接收板使工 件向該工件投入接收板的外周緣部移動,而不集中在旋轉球的內底部中央,此時,與螺旋導向件的下端部匯合,然後,以旋轉球的旋轉為推力,使工件沿著該螺旋導向件向該旋轉球的上開口的外周緣部輸送,藉由引導部使運送至旋轉球的外周緣部外的工件向目的運輸路徑引導。 In the workpiece transport methods of Patent Documents 1 and 2 configured as described above, the workpiece is fed into the receiving plate from the upper side of the upper opening of the rotating ball toward the bucket-shaped workpiece, and the workpiece is put into the receiving plate. The workpiece is moved to the outer peripheral edge of the workpiece receiving plate, and is not concentrated in the center of the inner bottom of the rotating ball. At this time, it merges with the lower end of the spiral guide, and then the rotation of the rotating ball is used as a thrust to make the workpiece along the workpiece. The spiral guide is conveyed to the outer peripheral edge portion of the upper opening of the rotating ball, and the guide portion guides the workpiece conveyed to the outer peripheral edge portion of the rotating ball to the destination transport path.

然而,在所述專利文獻1、2的結構中,由於從旋轉球的上開口的更上方向工件投入接收板落下投入工件,因此,有可能因衝擊而損傷工件。另外,在專利文獻1、2中,由於工件以與工件投入接收板的表面摩擦的方式向外周緣部移動,並且在從工件投入接收板沿著螺旋導向件被該螺旋導向件摩擦的同時進行移動,因此,此處也有可能損傷工件。 However, in the configurations of Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the workpiece is thrown into the receiving plate from the upper side of the upper opening of the rotating ball, the workpiece may be damaged by the impact. Further, in Patent Documents 1, 2, since the workpiece is moved to the outer peripheral portion in such a manner as to rub against the surface of the workpiece input and receiving plate, and is performed while being rubbed from the workpiece receiving and receiving plate along the spiral guide by the spiral guide member Move, so there is also the possibility of damaging the workpiece here.

在專利文獻1、2中,作為工件,具體示出了螺釘,但在為更小的工件,例如微米單位的電子元件的情況下,存在由於僅僅在工件投入接收板或螺旋導向件上附著數個灰塵或塵土,造成妨礙工件的移動,導致輸送停止的情況。這裡,在電子元件的「製造」步驟中無塵室的等級較高,但在發貨步驟或外觀檢查步驟中達不到製造步驟程度的等級,仍存在灰塵或塵土(雖然比普通的室內空間要少很多)。 In Patent Documents 1 and 2, a screw is specifically shown as a workpiece, but in the case of a smaller workpiece such as a micro-unit electronic component, there are a number of attachments only to the workpiece receiving plate or the spiral guide. Dust or dust, which hinders the movement of the workpiece and causes the conveyance to stop. Here, in the "manufacturing" step of the electronic component, the level of the clean room is high, but in the delivery step or the visual inspection step, the level of the manufacturing step is not reached, and dust or dust still exists (although it is more than ordinary indoor space). It is much less).

要解決的問題在於,現有的零件供給器可能由於將工件從旋轉球的上開口的更上方向工件投入接收板落下投入的情況、以與工件投入接收板的表面摩擦的方式向外周緣部移動的情況、以及從工件投入接收板沿著螺旋導向件與該螺旋導向件摩擦的同時進行移動的情況而造成工件損傷,另外,在極小工件例如微米單位的電子部件的情況下,現有的零件供給器存在由於僅僅在工件投入接收板或螺旋導向件上附著數個灰塵或塵土,便造成妨礙工件的移動,導致輸送停止的情況。 The problem to be solved is that the existing part feeder may move to the outer peripheral portion in such a manner as to rub the workpiece from the upper side of the upper opening of the rotating ball into the receiving plate and rub against the surface of the workpiece into the receiving plate. And the case where the workpiece is damaged by moving while the workpiece is being fed to the receiving plate along the spiral guide and the spiral guide. In addition, in the case of a very small workpiece such as an electronic component of a micro unit, the existing component is supplied. The presence of dust or dust attached to the workpiece receiving plate or the spiral guide causes the movement of the workpiece to be hindered, resulting in the stop of the conveyance.

為了解決上述技術問題,將本發明的零件供給器設為具備:旋轉桶部件,其為有底筒狀;多孔質圓板部件,其覆蓋該旋轉桶部件的上部開口且形成有貫穿內外的複數個孔;輸送部,其設置於該多孔質圓板部件的外周緣部;導向部件,其與該輸送部的外周側面接觸並在比該輸送部表面更高地形成的周壁的一部分上形成有將工件從輸送部排出的排出開口;空氣供給旋轉軸,其貫穿所述旋轉桶部件的中心部並一邊從形成於其側周面的空氣噴出孔向該旋轉桶部件的內部噴出空氣一邊使該旋轉桶部件旋轉。 In order to solve the above-described technical problems, the component feeder of the present invention is provided with a rotary tub member which has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and a porous disk member which covers an upper opening of the rotary tub member and is formed with a plurality of penetrating inner and outer portions. a conveying portion provided at an outer peripheral edge portion of the porous disk member; and a guide member formed to be in contact with an outer peripheral side surface of the conveying portion and forming a portion of the peripheral wall formed higher than a surface of the conveying portion a discharge opening through which the workpiece is discharged from the conveying unit; the air supply rotating shaft that passes through the center portion of the rotating tub member and ejects air from the air ejection hole formed on the side peripheral surface thereof to the inside of the rotating tub member The barrel part is rotated.

根據上述結構,本發明的零件供給器如後述實施例中所說明所述,藉由從多孔質圓板部件的微細孔噴出的空氣,使向殼體內落下投入的極小工件以不在該多孔質圓板部件上接觸而是以漂浮狀態向空氣噴射不到的輸送部移動。 According to the above configuration, the component feeder of the present invention, as described in the later-described embodiment, allows the extremely small workpiece to be dropped into the casing to be placed in the porous circle by the air ejected from the micropores of the porous disk member. The plate member is in contact with the moving member in a floating state in a state where the air is not sprayed.

並且,本發明的零件供給器能夠藉由旋轉桶部件旋轉的離心力使向輸送部移動的工件靠近導向部件的(內)周壁並在圓周上排成一列,同時藉 由該旋轉桶部件的旋轉移動將其保持載置於輸送部的狀態引導至排出開口。此外,工件從排出開口向下一步驟輸送。 Moreover, the component feeder of the present invention can move the workpiece moving toward the conveying portion close to the (inner) peripheral wall of the guiding member by the centrifugal force of the rotation of the rotating tub member and arrange them in a row on the circumference while borrowing Guided to the discharge opening by the rotational movement of the rotary drum member, it is held in the state of being transported. In addition, the workpiece is transported from the discharge opening to the next step.

也就是說,本發明的零件供給器不會由於將工件向旋轉桶部件落下投入所產生的衝擊而導致工件損傷,另一方面,由於在將工件排成一列後輸送到排出開口時,其被保持載置於輸送部上穩定地輸送,因此能夠抑制工件被摩擦,其結果為,能夠將例如鍍金後的極小工件高效且無損傷地排列輸送。 That is to say, the component feeder of the present invention does not cause damage to the workpiece due to the impact generated by dropping the workpiece into the rotating tub member, and on the other hand, since the workpiece is discharged into the discharge opening after being arranged in a row, it is Since the workpiece is stably transported by being placed on the transport portion, it is possible to suppress the workpiece from being rubbed, and as a result, for example, extremely small workpieces after gold plating can be transported efficiently and without damage.

本發明藉由使落下投入的工件以漂浮狀態擋止於噴出空氣的多孔質圓板部件上,並使工件保持載置於輸送部上來旋轉移動,從而解決在將工件落下投入時可能會因衝擊而損傷工件的技術問題、以及將工件排列輸送時可能會發生摩擦損傷的技術問題。 According to the present invention, the workpiece that is dropped into the floating disk is stopped on the porous disk member that ejects the air, and the workpiece is held on the conveying portion to be rotationally moved, thereby solving the possibility that the workpiece may be impacted when the workpiece is dropped. The technical problem of damaging the workpiece and the technical problem that friction damage may occur when the workpiece is arranged and transported.

另外,本發明也可以將多孔質圓板部件設置為截面向外周緣部呈下坡傾斜的傘狀。這樣一來,藉由使多孔質圓板部件形成為向輸送部呈下坡傾斜,從而使工件向該多孔質圓板部件的空氣噴射方向被引導,迅速地向輸送部輸送,因此,進一步提高輸送效率。 Further, in the present invention, the porous disk member may be provided in an umbrella shape in which the cross section is inclined downward toward the outer peripheral portion. In this way, by forming the porous disk member to be inclined downward toward the conveying portion, the workpiece is guided in the air ejection direction of the porous disk member, and is quickly conveyed to the conveying portion, thereby further improving Delivery efficiency.

實施例 Example

下面,參照圖1至圖4,對本發明的具體實施方式進行說明,本發明的零件供給器1用於將例如50-200μm的極小電子部件W(下面稱為工件W)排列輸送,其結構如下所述。 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4, and a component feeder 1 of the present invention is used for arranging and transporting extremely small electronic components W (hereinafter referred to as workpieces W) of, for example, 50 to 200 μm. Said.

旋轉桶部件2是做成有底筒狀。在該旋轉桶部件2的中央部形成有使後述的空氣供給旋轉軸5插通的軸插通孔2a。例如在本實施例中,在軸插通孔2a的內周面形成有螺紋2b。 The rotary tub member 2 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape. A shaft insertion hole 2a through which the air supply rotary shaft 5 to be described later is inserted is formed in a central portion of the rotary tub member 2. For example, in the present embodiment, the screw 2b is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the shaft insertion hole 2a.

多孔質圓板部件3在覆蓋上述旋轉桶部件2的上部開口的同時,在本實例中在外周緣部形成有工件的輸送部3a,並進一步在除了該輸送部3a的內周部位上形成有複數個孔3b(圖中用點狀陰影表示)。該多孔質圓板部件3在本實施例中由例如陶瓷製得,採用側面視角下為水平的結構。 The porous disk member 3 is formed to cover the upper portion of the rotary drum member 2, and in this example, the conveying portion 3a of the workpiece is formed on the outer peripheral portion, and further, a plurality of portions are formed on the inner peripheral portion except the conveying portion 3a. Hole 3b (indicated by dot shading in the figure). In the present embodiment, the porous disk member 3 is made of, for example, ceramic, and has a horizontal structure from the side view.

另外,多孔質圓板部件3在中央部形成有使後述的空氣供給旋轉軸5插通的軸插通孔3c(未形成螺紋)。即,藉由多孔質圓板部件3覆蓋旋轉桶部件2的上部開口,從而在旋轉桶部件2的內部形成有空間P,該空間P的空氣從多孔質圓板部件3的孔3b噴出。 In the porous disk member 3, a shaft insertion hole 3c (not threaded) through which the air supply rotary shaft 5 to be described later is inserted is formed in the center portion. That is, the upper opening of the rotary tub member 2 is covered by the porous disk member 3, whereby a space P is formed inside the rotary tub member 2, and air in the space P is ejected from the hole 3b of the porous disk member 3.

在多孔質圓板部件3的中央表面設置有大致圓錐狀的按壓部件3d,其用於防止該多孔質圓板部件3從旋轉桶部件2浮起以實現該旋轉桶部件2內 的氣密性,同時將該旋轉桶部件2和該多孔質圓板部件3可旋轉地安裝於空氣供給旋轉軸5。 A substantially conical pressing member 3d for preventing the porous disk member 3 from floating from the rotating tub member 2 to realize the inside of the rotating tub member 2 is provided on the central surface of the porous disk member 3. At the same time, the rotary drum member 2 and the porous disk member 3 are rotatably attached to the air supply rotary shaft 5.

在按壓部件3d的背面中央部形成有用於螺入後述的空氣供給旋轉軸5的內軸5B的前端部的螺紋孔3e。另外,在按壓部件3d的下方的裙部設置有促進工件W在多孔質圓板部件3上快速向輸送部3a移動的整流板3f。 A screw hole 3e for screwing a tip end portion of the inner shaft 5B of the air supply rotary shaft 5 to be described later is formed at a central portion of the back surface of the pressing member 3d. Further, the skirt portion below the pressing member 3d is provided with a rectifying plate 3f that facilitates rapid movement of the workpiece W on the porous disk member 3 toward the conveying portion 3a.

此外,多孔質圓板部件3在本實施例中由陶瓷製得,也可以粘貼設置呈大直徑的複數個孔或網眼板狀並由樹脂等構成的多孔片材而構成。這樣一來,即使工件W無法順利浮在多孔質圓板部件3上而落下接觸,也能夠利用多孔質材的柔軟性來抑制工件W的損傷。 Further, in the present embodiment, the porous disk member 3 is made of ceramics, and a porous sheet having a large diameter and a mesh shape and having a resin or the like may be attached. In this way, even if the workpiece W cannot float smoothly on the porous disk member 3 and come into contact with each other, the damage of the workpiece W can be suppressed by the flexibility of the porous material.

另外,多孔質圓板部件3在本實施例中採用了在側面視角下為水平的結構,但也可以採用在側面視角下截面為向外周緣部呈下坡傾斜的傘狀的結構。這樣一來,向多孔質圓板部件3落下投入的工件W能夠藉由從孔3b沿著該多孔質圓板部件3的傾斜向外周方向噴射的空氣而快速地向輸送部3a移動,也能夠省去整流板3f。 Further, in the present embodiment, the porous disk member 3 has a structure that is horizontal from the side view, but an umbrella-like structure in which the cross section is inclined downward toward the outer peripheral portion in the side view angle may be employed. In this way, the workpiece W that has been dropped into the porous disk member 3 can be quickly moved to the transport portion 3a by the air ejected from the hole 3b along the obliquely outward direction of the porous disk member 3, and can also be moved. The rectifying plate 3f is omitted.

進一步地,在本實施例中,設為輸送部3a形成於多孔質圓板部件3的外周緣部,但也可以取而代之為如下結構:在旋轉桶部件2的內周側壁沿周向設置臺階部,在該臺階部上端嵌入該多孔質圓板部件3,將設為與該多孔質圓板部件3相同高度的旋轉桶部件2的外周緣部的上面作為輸送部3a。若這樣做,則多孔質圓板部件3的結構可使用在俯視視角下為圓形且在中央形成有軸插通孔3c以及在其面上形成有貫穿內外的複數個孔3b的結構,從而能夠簡化構成,且容易採購。 Further, in the present embodiment, the conveying portion 3a is formed on the outer peripheral edge portion of the porous disk member 3, but may be replaced by a step in which the step portion is provided in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral side wall of the rotary tub member 2. The porous disk member 3 is fitted to the upper end of the step portion, and the upper surface of the outer peripheral edge portion of the rotary tub member 2 having the same height as the porous disk member 3 is used as the transport portion 3a. By doing so, the porous disk member 3 can be configured to have a circular shape in a plan view and a shaft insertion hole 3c formed in the center and a plurality of holes 3b penetrating the inside and the outside. It simplifies the structure and is easy to purchase.

在本實施例中,導向部件4與輸送部3a外周的側面接觸同時形成有比該輸送部的表面位置更高的周壁4a。該導向部件4在周壁4a的一部分上形成有將工件W從輸送部排出的排出開口4b。 In the present embodiment, the guide member 4 is formed in contact with the side surface of the outer periphery of the conveying portion 3a while forming a peripheral wall 4a higher than the surface position of the conveying portion. The guide member 4 has a discharge opening 4b for discharging the workpiece W from the conveying portion on a part of the peripheral wall 4a.

另外,例如在本實施例中,導向部件4在周壁4a的高度(軸向)的下部設置有以等角度沿徑向延伸的支柱4c。該支柱4c的一端設置在周壁4a上,另一端設置在***嵌合有空氣供給旋轉軸5的支承環4d上。支承環4d在周面的適當位置形成有貫穿內外周面的螺紋孔4e,從該螺紋孔4e向空氣供給旋轉軸5的外筒5A的固定螺紋孔5a螺入螺釘B。 Further, for example, in the present embodiment, the guide member 4 is provided at the lower portion in the height (axial direction) of the peripheral wall 4a with the stays 4c extending at equal angles in the radial direction. One end of the stay 4c is provided on the peripheral wall 4a, and the other end is provided on a support ring 4d into which the air supply rotary shaft 5 is inserted. The support ring 4d is formed with a screw hole 4e penetrating the inner and outer peripheral surfaces at an appropriate position on the circumferential surface, and the screw thread B is screwed into the fixed screw hole 5a of the outer cylinder 5A of the air supply rotary shaft 5 from the screw hole 4e.

在本實施例中,5是空氣供給旋轉軸,其由外筒5A和內軸5B構成,並從內軸5B內供給空氣同時使該內軸5B旋轉。外筒5A不進行旋轉,在外周上形成有與上述導向部件4的支承環4d的螺紋孔4e連通並使螺釘B螺入的固定螺紋孔5a。 In the present embodiment, 5 is an air supply rotary shaft which is constituted by the outer cylinder 5A and the inner shaft 5B, and supplies air from the inner shaft 5B while rotating the inner shaft 5B. The outer cylinder 5A is not rotated, and a fixed screw hole 5a that communicates with the screw hole 4e of the support ring 4d of the guide member 4 and that screws the screw B is formed on the outer circumference.

內軸5B設置為有頂筒狀,並且其前端部從外筒5A突出,雖未圖示,在該外筒5A內部被可旋轉地樞軸支承。另外,內軸5B在從外筒5A突出的前端部的規定軸向位置上的周面形成有貫穿內外周的複數個空氣噴出孔5b。 The inner shaft 5B is provided in a top cylindrical shape, and its front end portion protrudes from the outer cylinder 5A, and is rotatably pivotally supported inside the outer cylinder 5A, although not shown. Moreover, the inner shaft 5B has a plurality of air ejection holes 5b penetrating the inner and outer circumferences on the circumferential surface at a predetermined axial position of the distal end portion protruding from the outer cylinder 5A.

進一步地,內軸5B以形成有空氣噴出孔5b的位置為中心在軸向上下位置形成有螺紋5c(上側)、螺紋5d(下側),另外,在螺紋5d的更靠軸向下部處形成有禁止向旋轉桶部件2的軸方向位置下方移動的擋件5e。內軸5B的螺紋5c螺入按壓部件3d的螺紋孔3e,內軸5B的螺紋5d螺入形成在旋轉桶部件2的軸插通孔2a內周上的螺紋2b。 Further, the inner shaft 5B is formed with a thread 5c (upper side) and a thread 5d (lower side) in the axially upper and lower positions centering on the position where the air ejection hole 5b is formed, and is formed at the lower axial portion of the thread 5d. There is a stopper 5e that is prohibited from moving downward in the axial direction position of the rotary tub member 2. The thread 5c of the inner shaft 5B is screwed into the screw hole 3e of the pressing member 3d, and the thread 5d of the inner shaft 5B is screwed into the thread 2b formed on the inner circumference of the shaft insertion hole 2a of the rotary tub member 2.

也就是說,旋轉桶部件2透過經由擋件5e上的O形環5f使內軸5B螺入,從而以與該內軸5B一起旋轉的方式安裝。多孔質圓板部件3載置於旋轉桶部 件2上,使內軸5B插通軸插通孔3c,在該多孔質圓板部件3的表面側的該軸插通孔3c載置O形環5f,並對從該多孔質圓板部件3突出的內軸5B的螺紋5d螺入按壓部件3d,由此以與該內軸5B一起旋轉的方式安裝。 That is, the rotary tub member 2 is screwed into the inner shaft 5B via the O-ring 5f on the stopper 5e, and is attached so as to rotate together with the inner shaft 5B. The porous circular plate member 3 is placed on the rotating barrel In the member 2, the inner shaft 5B is inserted into the shaft insertion hole 3c, and the shaft insertion hole 3c on the surface side of the porous disk member 3 is placed with the O-ring 5f, and the porous disk member is placed thereon. The thread 5d of the protruding inner shaft 5B is screwed into the pressing member 3d, thereby being mounted so as to rotate together with the inner shaft 5B.

並且,內軸5B的空氣噴出孔5b位於上部開口被多孔質圓板部件3覆蓋而成的旋轉桶部件2內的空間P中,向空間P內噴出空氣,如果達到規定壓力,則該空間P內的空氣從多孔質圓板3的孔3b噴射。 Further, the air ejection hole 5b of the inner shaft 5B is located in the space P in the rotary tub member 2 in which the upper opening is covered by the porous disk member 3, and air is ejected into the space P, and if a predetermined pressure is reached, the space P is obtained. The air inside is ejected from the hole 3b of the porous disk 3.

圖1所示的馬達6是使內軸5B旋轉,在本實施例中,採用步進馬達。另外,圖1所示的泵7是用於向內軸5B內供給空氣。進一步地,圖1所示的料斗8是將工件W向零件供給器1的多孔質圓板部件3上投入。 The motor 6 shown in Fig. 1 rotates the inner shaft 5B. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor is employed. Further, the pump 7 shown in Fig. 1 is for supplying air into the inner shaft 5B. Further, the hopper 8 shown in FIG. 1 is used to feed the workpiece W onto the porous disk member 3 of the component feeder 1.

上述結構的零件供給器1如下進行動作。馬達6使(本實施例中使用步進馬達)內軸5B間歇性地旋轉。泵7向內軸5B中供給空氣,該被供給的空氣從該內軸5B的空氣噴出孔5b噴出。 The component feeder 1 of the above configuration operates as follows. The motor 6 intermittently rotates the inner shaft 5B (the stepping motor is used in the present embodiment). The pump 7 supplies air to the inner shaft 5B, and the supplied air is ejected from the air ejection hole 5b of the inner shaft 5B.

旋轉桶部件2及多孔質圓板部件3藉由內軸5B進行旋轉。此外,由於導向部件4設置在空氣供給旋轉軸5的外筒5A上,因此不旋轉。在由旋轉桶部件2及多孔質圓板部件3劃分的該旋轉桶部件2內部的空間P充滿從內軸5B的空氣噴出孔5b噴出的空氣,隨即從該多孔質圓板部件3的孔3b噴出。 The rotary tub member 2 and the porous disk member 3 are rotated by the inner shaft 5B. Further, since the guide member 4 is provided on the outer cylinder 5A of the air supply rotary shaft 5, it does not rotate. The space P inside the rotary tub member 2 divided by the rotary tub member 2 and the porous disk member 3 is filled with air ejected from the air ejection hole 5b of the inner shaft 5B, and then from the hole 3b of the porous disc member 3 ejection.

若在噴射空氣的同時從料斗8將工件W向間歇性地旋轉的多孔質圓板部件3落下投入,則因為工件W極小,因此因空氣噴射而在多孔質圓板部件3的表面上漂浮。 When the workpiece W is dropped from the hopper 8 to the intermittently rotating porous disk member 3 while the air is being injected, the workpiece W is extremely small, and therefore floats on the surface of the porous disk member 3 by air jet.

本實施例的情況下,由於將多孔質圓板部件做成水平,因此漂浮的工件W藉由該多孔質圓板部件3的旋轉從落下地點向整流板3f移動,並被該整 流板3f引導而向輸送部3a移動。此外,藉由整流板3f,幾乎所有的工件W在移動至輸送部3a時都處於排成一列的狀態。 In the case of the present embodiment, since the porous disk member is horizontal, the floating workpiece W is moved from the falling position to the rectifying plate 3f by the rotation of the porous disk member 3, and is The flow plate 3f is guided to move to the conveying unit 3a. Further, almost all of the workpieces W are in a state of being aligned in the row when moving to the conveying portion 3a by the rectifying plate 3f.

移動至輸送部3a的工件W解除由從多孔質圓板部件3的孔3b噴射的空氣所引起的漂浮狀態,變為載置狀態。載置於輸送部3a的工件W由於多孔質圓板部件3旋轉的離心力而與導向部件4抵接,並進一步被排列,同時向排出開口4b移動。移動至排出開口4b的工件W被輸送至形成於輸送部3a的圓周切線上的輸送路徑,進而向下一步驟移動。 The workpiece W moved to the conveyance unit 3a is released from the floating state caused by the air ejected from the hole 3b of the porous disk member 3, and is placed in a mounted state. The workpiece W placed on the transport unit 3a is in contact with the guide member 4 due to the centrifugal force of the rotation of the porous disk member 3, and is further arranged to move toward the discharge opening 4b. The workpiece W moved to the discharge opening 4b is conveyed to a conveying path formed on the circumferential tangent of the conveying portion 3a, and further moved to the next step.

這樣,由於本發明的零件供給器1使落下投入的工件W在多孔質圓板部件3上漂浮,因此不會由於落下衝擊而導致損傷工件,另外,工件W在載置於輸送部3a上的狀態下,藉由該多孔質圓板部件3的旋轉向排出開口4b輸送,因此不會發生該輸送部3a與工件W的摩擦損傷。 In this way, since the component feeder 1 of the present invention floats the workpiece W dropped and dropped on the porous disk member 3, the workpiece is not damaged by the drop impact, and the workpiece W is placed on the conveying portion 3a. In this state, the porous disk member 3 is conveyed to the discharge opening 4b by the rotation of the porous disk member 3, so that the frictional damage between the conveying portion 3a and the workpiece W does not occur.
